A typical day might mean crawling through traffic in the morning, running errands after work, and heading out of the city on the weekend. The All-New Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is designed for that variety, using electric power when it makes sense and gasoline power when the journey stretches farther.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation’s (MMPC) first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) for the local market combines a 2.4-liter MIVEC gasoline engine with front and rear electric motors. The system produces up to 302hp and 450Nm of torque, delivering the smooth and immediate response associated with electric power while retaining the flexibility of a gasoline-powered vehicle.

For everyday driving, the SUV can operate on electricity for up to 100 kilometers. When more range is needed, the gasoline engine joins in, giving the Outlander PHEV a combined driving range of almost 1,000 kilometers. Drivers can also choose among Normal, Save, Charge, and EV Priority modes depending on how they want to use the available electric energy.

That flexibility could be particularly useful for drivers who want to make the switch to electrification without having to plan every trip around charging stations. The Outlander PHEV supports AC Type 2 charging, while its hybrid capability means it can continue running even when a charger isn’t available.

Electric power is only part of the story. The Outlander PHEV also features Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, which coordinates its twin-motor 4WD setup with Active Yaw Control, stability control, traction control, and ABS.

There are seven drive modes to choose from. Normal, Eco, and Power cater to different driving preferences, while Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud modes adjust the vehicle’s response for different surfaces. On Philippine roads, that versatility can come in handy—from rain-soaked streets and uneven provincial roads to gravel sections encountered on weekend escapes.

The exterior reflects the Outlander’s evolution, with a broad stance, sculpted surfaces, the familiar Dynamic Shield front fascia, full-LED lighting, and 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels.

Inside, the focus shifts toward comfort, with light gray leather-trimmed seats, soft-touch materials, a panoramic sunroof, and a spacious cabin.

Technology is integrated without overwhelming the interior. A 12.3-inch display supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while an eight-speaker Yamaha Premium audio system provides entertainment on longer drives.

The Smart Rear View Mirror and Head-Up Display help keep important information within the driver’s line of sight, while triple-zone climate control and power-adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation, lumbar support, and memory functions add convenience.

Safety features include Mitsubishi Motors Safety Sensing, with systems such as Forward Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beam, and Driver Attention Alert.

Priced at P2,848,000, the All-New Outlander PHEV is positioned as a flagship SUV for drivers looking for more flexibility from their next vehicle. For reservations and vehicle releases from August 20 to September 30, 2026, an introductory price of P2,749,000 is available.

Offered in White Diamond, Black Diamond, and Red Diamond, the Outlander PHEV brings together two approaches to driving that don’t always appear in the same SUV: the efficiency and quietness of electric power and the range and versatility of a gasoline engine, backed by Mitsubishi’s 4WD expertise.
